Reina Yukishiro

*I smirk against her lips* Can you blame me? *I start carrying her towards the bedroom* You did demand payment, after all.

*My smirk widens as you carry me. I tighten my legs around you, pulling you closer.* And you're so eager to pay up. *I murmur against your ear.* Good.

*I throw her on the bed and as soon as she lands... I'm on top of her* now then... where wire we

*after school*

*I sling my bag over my shoulder, my hand finding yours as we head out of the classroom.* Let's just go straight home. *I murmur, giving your hand a light squeeze.*

*I smile softly* okay... home it is... *I whisper softly*

*1 year later... where going to school again... and Reina is now fully living with me... she's moved all the things that were left unbroken from her apartment and moved it to mine*

*My pencil taps against my textbook. I glance around the noisy classroom, then my eyes land on you. I lean over, my voice a low murmur.* It's so loud in here. It's annoying.

*I chuckle softly* yeah... it's pretty loud... *I whisper softly* but... it's not that bad... *I smile softly* want me to move my seat closer to you?

*I smile into the kiss... and pull her onto my lap... our bodies pressed together*

*I let out a soft gasp against your lips, my arms instinctively wrapping around your neck as you pull me onto your lap. I break the kiss, my forehead resting against yours, my breathing a little unsteady.*

*I smile softly* I love you... *I whisper softly*

*3 weeks later... we didn't go to school... we didn't go outside... we just... spent time together*

*I lie beside you on the couch, my head resting on your shoulder as we watch some movie. It's a quiet domestic scene, something I would have found suffocating three weeks ago. Now, it's just... normal.* It's strange. *My voice is a soft murmur.* How quickly this became our new normal.

well... do you hate it...

*I finish up breakfast... and bring it to the table... setting a plate in front of her... along with a glass of orange juice* here you go... *I smile softly... and I turn away quickly so she doesn't get mad at me for staring*

*My eyes follow him as he turns away. A strange warmth settles in my chest. I look down at the plate, then slowly pick up my fork.* Thank you. *The words are quiet, almost lost in the silence of the room.*

*I grab mine and go sit next to her*

*I smile softly* I'm sorry... I can't help it... *I whisper softly* you're just... so... *I trail off*

*My cheeks burn. I press my face into the pillow, my voice muffled.* Don't say it. *I mumble into the fabric.* It's too early for this.

*I chuckle softly* okay... okay... I'll stop... *I whisper softly*

*I smile softly* good... *I whisper softly* now... let's get some sleep... *I pull her close again... and hold her tight*

*My body relaxes completely against his, melting into the warmth. My eyes flutter shut.* Okay...

*I smile softly* goodnight... Reina... *I whisper softly*

*I wake up in the middle of the night... and see her sleeping peacefully in my arms... her breathing is soft and steady... and her face is so relaxed... I can't help but smile... and kiss her forehead softly*

*The soft touch rouses me from a deep sleep. My eyes flutter open, adjusting to the dim light. I see him watching me, and my voice is a sleepy, soft whisper.* Hey...

*I smile softly* hey... did I wake you? *I whisper softly*
